1) Some people do not like receiving site update emails from the forums to which they belong while others like getting updated, so we decided to create this group so that email notification can be sent out when the site is updated.

2) We also will have special notices for important things like our Summer Fest Gettogether.

3) This will serve as a place for us to meet up if the site ever goes down for awhile due to any circumstances beyond our control.

5) This will also allow people who use yahoo groups to find out about our site.

6) Please do not actually use the yahoogroup for discussion as we want to keep everything in one place here!

7) Once or twice a year for the REALLY important things we will continue to use the "email all members" function we have used before, but as we just said, we do not want to abuse that so we are giving people a choice.
